This will work great ,however remember that when spraying your cover scent that you do not get it on your hands and feet and then go over and climb up the tree your stand is in as now you would have a trail to where the hunter will be sitting and they will look up the tree.

I started collecting bait (Bakery and Meat scraps) as soon as I found out that she was picked.
I'm allowed to start the bait piles the 3rd week of August, and I can set out the tree stands September 1st.
The plan is;
At the start of baiting I will carry out 150 lbs of bait to each of three stations, at first I will bait twice a week, and pick it up to 4 times a week and slowly reduce the amounts to about 2 gal by opening day.
Each time that I bait I plan on spraying liquid smoke / vanella scent, then after the stands are out, spray the scent, climb 1/2 way up the stand, and ring a bell and then leave.
The thought is, get the bears into a routine.
Then I'll go out with her and do the routine but leave her and I'll go back and wait in the truck.
What do you think?
Thanks,
